They can't have it both ways.
They won; isn't it up to THEM to deliver it? Jeebus. And that's what they do. Distract and take no responsibility whatsoever, because they don't have a fucking clue.
No Obama pivot after midterms

Voters demanded change from Washington on Tuesday, and Republicans say its now up to President Barack Obama to deliver it.
But dont count on that happening.
The White House that emerges after the midterm elections wont look, act or sound drastically different than the one battered for months by Republicans and abandoned by Democrats desperate to hang onto power. The president will seek some common ground with Republicans, but there are limits to how far Obama wants to go and Senate Democrats will let him go.
Despite losing the Senate, Obama doesnt think too much should be read into election results from a handful of states that never approved of his job performance in the first place. Obama acknowledges that he needs to do better, and he will make modest adjustments to his staffing, messaging and legislative strategy in response. But he wont pivot to the right, as he did after his self-proclaimed shellacking in 2010, White House officials said in interviews this week.
Obama will strike a tone of compromise and accountability during his public remarks Wednesday, promising to work with Republicans who are interested in working with him. Hes gone almost two years without a major legislative achievement, leaving him very willing to start cutting deals, a senior administration official said, possibly on trade, corporate taxes and patent reform. Still, this posture isnt much different than the one hes projected for years.
